Cabarets have been one of the most popular forms of entertainment among Polish television viewers for many years. Their broadcast is dominated by Polsat, which shows “Cabaret Live” every Sunday, in which comedians comment satirically on the reality around us. Recently, the subject of most skits related to the complicated world of Polish politics. The artists leave no stone unturned on politicians of all stripes, but the ruling party camp suffers the most.
Polsat removed the cabaret artists’ skits. A few days before the elections
In the last episode of the program, Adam Glapiński and his statements about interest rates were criticized, and Daniel Obajtek was also criticized for lowering fuel prices at stations. The lies of the PiS government were also pointed out in the skit entitled “Spin doctors – PiS”.
Materials from the program were available on the Polsat Box Go website, as well as on Polsat’s social media. However, this week the station’s broadcaster decided to remove these recordings from all channels. The editors of the website kabaret.twarzyhistorie.pl were the first to report this.
Skits from the weekly program ‘Młodzi i Moralni’, which is broadcast every Sunday, as well as from the ‘Magic End of Holidays’ festival in Kielce, were removed. The entire ‘Sopot Cabaret Hit 2023’ also disappeared – they reported.
Moreover, you can no longer find posts from the last few months on the “Młodych i Moralne” Facebook page. You can only see entries from May 2023, i.e. before the Sopot Hit Cabaret. The artists immediately spoke out on this matter. “The signal is clear: there should be silence until the elections. And this is nothing more than a kind of preventive censorship,” said Robert Korólczyk in an interview with .
Robert Górski responds. “Maybe we need to move to the Internet”
Now Robert Górski, the leader of Kabaret Moralny Niepokoju, has also decided to speak out. In an interview with “Press”, he made a short but blunt comment.
I’m glad that cabaret in Poland is so powerful that there are people who are afraid of it and grab their phones. Apparently they don’t feel confident looking at the poll results. After the elections, everything will return to normal, but for now, the freedom to joke is less important than nuclear power plants, and deleting skits is – and here I hesitate – whether it is more funny or more stupid – said Górski.
The artist also decided to refer to the recent Pandora Gate scandal, which concerns many previously popular Internet creators. – Maybe we need to move to the Internet. Especially since an attractive place for YouTubers has become vacant – concluded the artist.
